The Italian - throws the cup, breaks it and walks away in a fit of rage The German - carefully washes the cup, sterilizes it and makes a new cup of coffee.

The Frenchman - takes out the fly and drinks the coffee.

The Chinese - eats the fly and throws away the coffee.

The Russian - drinks the coffee with the fly, since it came with no extra charge.

The Israeli - sells the coffee to the Frenchman, sells the fly to the Chinese, sells the cup to the Italian, drinks a cup of tea and uses the extra money to invent a device that prevents flies from falling into coffee.

The Palestinian - blames the Israeli for the fly falling into his coffee, protests the act to the UN as an act of aggression, takes a loan from the European Union to buy a new cup of coffee, uses the money to purchase explosives and then blows up the coffee house where the Italian, Frenchman, Chinese, German and Russian are all trying to explain to the Israeli that he should give his cup of tea to the Palestinian. https://chumly.com/n/213700b

This is a unique time for Americans and Jews in America. We are thankful for the miracle of our free market lighting the way to the rest of the world to prosperity and we are reminded that the idols of governments inflicted against a people can be upended by a small group of determined believers. Take this opportunity to remind everyone the pilgrims turned from socialism to the free market to survive.Have a wonderful and prosperous Thanksgiving. https://chumly.com/n/20d109b

A Congressional committee hearing discussing a hidden disclamer telling users of the Obamacare web site they have no reasonable expectation of privacy. Watch it, share it. Have a great Chanukkah, this is a bit of light for the holiday that may result in other gifts.

Yet another step in the direction of oligarchy by the most dogmatic, liberal, leftist senate leader ever. Reid will not bring up a single Republican bill for consideration and will blame them for the debacle that is ObamaCare when not one Republican supported it and warned of exactly the problems we now witness. On the bright side, when reason prevails and the Democratic party is ousted, a simple majority can be used to undo the bankrupted policies inflicted on America Visit us at j-gop.com or on Facebook on our Colorado Jewish Republicans page. https://chumly.com/n/20a9cf6

"Recently President Obama relinquished the power bestowed on him by the most powerful nation on earth, the use of military force to persuade an enemy to relent.This occurred when President Obama agreed to end the threat of a military strike against Syria by allowing Putin to broker a deal to put the destruction of Syria’s chemical weapons exclusively under the auspices of the United Nations’ P5 1."

An editorial in Tuesdays' Denver Post helps point out the lies in the ads on some RTD buses and trains now running around downtown Denver.

Americans Against Terrorism is leading the fight back against this slanderous attack against Israel by buying ads on mall buses that tell people the truth: the Arab side has stated that they want no Jews in any territory they control; that Arabs burnt down synagogues (within minutes) after Jews left Gaza; and that by contrast, Arabs in Israel vote their representatives into the Kinneset, have a representative on the Prime Ministers' cabinet, and have an Arab supreme court justice.

We are pleased to announce that our first ads will roll out on buses this coming week!

Each ad is $1250. Can you help Israel by buying an ad or donating whatever you can towards the purchase of one?

"This is not a close call. You may criticize Israeli policy toward the Palestinians and peacemaking, or toward the Arabs within Israel (although they enjoy political rights that are the envy of most residents of the Middle East), but you cannot accuse Israel of ethnic cleansing and expect to be taken seriously by those familiar with the facts."

That is right, it is November and Election Day is Tuesday, November 5. Get out and vote.
Just say No to new, higher, poorly used taxes.
Remember, the most efficient way to spend money is for your to spend your own on what you want or need. The least efficient is for others (government) to spend someone elses (yours) on what they think someone else wants or needs. http://chumly.com/n/203b51a

For those of us who didn't go to the recent veterans march in DC the photos tell the story. My favorite is the last one.

To move forward, we must prepare the way.

Today the Million Vets March is taking place in D.C. and around the country. It will be interesting to see how much news coverage it receives. I’m sure there weren't a million vets, but there were a heck of a lot of them:

The hated Barrycades have come down:

This man’s sign says, “By order of the American people, this site, and all other federally held grounds, are OPEN to the PUBLIC.”

These veterans are at the WWII memorial:

This guy may be a WWII veteran, but he still looks pretty tough. His shirt says, “Home of the free because of the brave.” Pretty sure he is one of those in the latter category:

The younger generation salutes the old:

The vets didn’t just crash the WWII memorial; this big crowd besieged the Lincoln Memorial:

Another crowd went to the White House to express their displeasure:

I like this sign, too: “Less government, more fun.” Maybe that slogan can help with the youth vote:

Some of the Barrycades may never be seen again:

And finally, this symbolic shot:

Obama’s closing of the parks and barricading of monuments was stupid, but so far he doesn’t seem to have paid much of a price. The press will try to keep today’s events secret, but I doubt whether they can succeed. Time will tell, but this seems like the sort of revelatory moment that will reverberate and gain force with time. Ronald Reagan used to say that the United States is a nation that has a government, not the other way around. That is a lesson that all of the elected Rep's and Sen's(in Washington) desperately need to learn.

UPDATE: The vets marched off with some of the Barrycades and dumped them at the White House fence:

FURTHER UPDATE: Here are a couple more. This legless vet is transporting a Barrycade to the White House:

In another world, that photo would be on the evening news. Or maybe this one:

Hen Mazzig is the Campus Coordinator for StandWithUs' Pacific Northwest chapter in the United States. Hen was in the IDF
for almost five years. As a lieutenant in the COGAT unit, he worked
as an intermediary between the Israeli Defense Forces (the IDF) and
the Palestinian Authority (the PA), the UN, and the many
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that work in the West Bank.
Hen's unit was responsible for overseeing the construction of
medical facilities, schools, environmental projects, roads,
water-related infrastructure, and for security coordination with the
Palestinian Security Forces, part of the Palestinian Authority.

As
a young Israeli who had just completed five years of service in the
IDF, I looked forward to my new job educating people in the Pacific
Northwest about Israel. I was shocked, however, by the anti-Israel
bigotry and hostility I encountered, especially in the greater Seattle
area, Oregon, and Berkeley. I had been very liberal, a member of the
leftist Zionist party, Meretz, but the anti-Semitism and hatred for
Israel that I have seen in the U.S. has changed my outlook
personally and politically.

Thanks to everyone who joined us at the meeting on Wednesday, it was a full house.

Because our guest speaker, Tom Tancredo, had another engagement, I kind of stepped up the pace and failed to point out we had a very special visitor, State Senator George Rivera from Pueblo, Colorado who replaced Angela Giron in the recent recall election.

Hopefully,
we will be able to have him back in the near future and I will happily
give him the floor and the time he deserves for stepping up to the place
and making a difference (I completely failed to let him know we
encourage a bit of a free-for-all discussion for anyone at the beginning
of the meeting).

My most humble
apologies for not asking him to speak directly. I encourage one and all
to visit his web site and donate to his campaign as there is no doubt,
the opposition will be going after him if they have not already done so http://www.georgeriveraforsenate.com/

It
also came to my attention that our donation button on the web site was
not working. This has been corrected to allow for membership to be
purchased with a credit card or using a PayPal account.

We want to mount a major outreach effort and need your support to make it happen. Please join for $30 following this link.

Some you may agree, some you might not, but explains why when Jews go abandon Judaism, they are more likely to embrace liberalism, servitude and slavery.

_______

Why should American Jews bother to be Jewish? According to a new Pew Research Center survey of the American Jewish community, more and more American Jews have reached the conclusion that there is no reason to be Jewish.

Outside
of the Orthodox Jewish community, intermarriage rates have reached 71
percent. Thirty-two percent of Jews born since 1980 and 22% of Jews
overall do not describe themselves as Jews by religion. They base their
Jewish identity on ancestry, ethnicity or culture.

Route 66 is a famous highway; Amendment 66 is a fiscal dead end, taking over a billion dollars yearly in new state taxes. Here are three strikes against #66 almost no one knows.

The first is their bogus ballot title. TABOR (the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights) requires a tax increase ballot title begin, “SHALL STATE TAXES BE INCREASED ($X) ANNUALLY...?” When the state title board first met, the fiscal estimate was just under $1.5 BILLION yearly. A cost 50% above their failed 2011 tax hike would be fatal, so the teachers' union sought a rehearing. The state agreed to lower the tax estimate one-third, to just below $1 BILLION. It declared that reduction corrected an innocent ($500 million) mistake. Would a private analyst making such a “mistake” keep his job? No. Should those who deceive voters get huge pay raises? No. Are they morally fit to teach your children? No. Government is run by liars who will say anything to get our money.
The second scam is the ballot title omission. State law requires ballot titles list major features fairly. Tax payers love TABOR; tax spenders despise it. So state employees hid the fact that #66 repeals TABOR's constitutional guarantee of a uniform income tax (equal protection, the same for everyone). Today's rate is 4.63 percent of federal taxable income. #66 establishes two tax rates. The tax pushers want a five percent rate for those who earn up to $75,000 taxable income (an 8% hike), but then use Obama's class warfare playbook to demonize “the rich” (those making over $75,000). Such “evil people” (like employers) will pay 5.9% on income above $75,000, a 27.4% increase.

The third trick is their proposal. They amend the constitution to repeal TABOR's flat rate income tax, but everything else is ordinary law. Any statute can be changed by our legislature any time, even a voter-approved one. If gullible voters pass #66, politicians can apply the 5.9% rate to income over $50,000, then $25,000, $10,000, and eventually all income over $1. That means no voter approval for hundreds of millions in new taxes. They planned for this because their ballot title says the tax after the first year can raise “whatever is collected,” ignoring the legally-required “annual” (year by year) limit.

The claim this tax is “for the children” is the biggest lie of all. No child gets one dollar. It all goes for government's near-monopoly on juvenile indoctrination. Nearly all the money will go for pay raises, either directly or by propping up their bankrupt PERA pension plan. The state treasurer, who sits on the retirement board, has written that all these billions can prop up the $25 billion deficit in profligate pension plans paying all of today's government workers (not just teachers) nearly full salaries for life, for not working.

A majority of government school employees are not teachers. They are administrators and other bureaucrats. How is giving a 20% pay raise to an assistant principal, union representative, or guidance counselor “for the children?”

Since 1971, per-student school spending has soared 446% AFTER inflation. Are schools getting better? No. Liberals told us passing Amendment 23 in 2000 would solve their “funding problem.” They lied. Referendum C in 2005? Another lie. This year's state marijuana tax? Ditto.

Total education spending is over $10,000 per student. For 25 students per classroom, that exceeds $250,000. If a teacher gets $50,000 in salary and benefits (for working nine months per year), where does the other $200,000 (80%) go? Sure, we need buildings, utilities, books, and some administration, but 80% for overhead is obscene. The ills of our socialized babysitting factories will not be solved by writing a check. Money cannot fix discipline problems, fire incompetent teachers, or improve academic performance.

Businesses won't invest in a state constantly piling on more taxes. Say good-bye to good jobs. That's why Colorado's economic recovery is slower than states that have cut taxes.

The only valid reforms are parental choice and school competition. Freedom always works; centralized tyranny always fails. Vote “NO” on Amendment 66, then distribute fliers at store exits and email and phone everyone you know. The teachers' union will spend millions to get their billion dollars a year; $5 million would reap a 200-to-1 annual return on their “investment” in our enslavement. You must resist. Do it for the children.

There is an important election THIS year. Please don't let the $1 billion tax increase of Amendment 66 add insult to the injury of the more than 19,000 families who lost their homes in the recent rains here in Colorado. In addition to not solving the education problems we face as a state and as a nation, they offer no education reform and destroy the Taxpayer Bill of Rights in the process.

(From an internet email, source not known or validated)I was in my neighborhood restaurant this morning and was seated behind a group of jubilant individuals celebrating the coming implementation of the health care bill. I could not finish my breakfast. This is what ensued:They were a diverse group of several races and both sexes. I heard a young man exclaim, "Isn't Obama like Jesus Christ? I mean, after all, he is healing the sick."

A young woman... enthusiastically proclaimed, "Yeah, and he does it for free. I cannot believe anyone would think that a free market wouldn't work for health care."

Another said, "The stupid Republicans want us all to starve to death so they can inherit all of the power. Obama should be made a Saint for what he did for those of us less fortunate."

At this, I had more than enough. I arose from my seat, mustering all the restraint I could find, and approached their table. "Please excuse me; may I impose upon you for one moment?"

They smiled and welcomed me to the conversation. I stood at the end of their table, smiled as best I could and began an experiment."I would like to give one of you my house. It will cost you no money and I will pay all of the expenses and taxes for as long as you live there. Anyone interested?"

They looked at each other in astonishment. "Why would you do something like that?" asked a young man, "There isn't anything for free in this world."They began to laugh at me, as they did not realize this man had just made my point.

"I am serious, I will give you my house for free, no money whatsoever. Anyone interested?"

In unison, a resounding "Yeah" fills the room."Since there are too many of you, I will have to make a choice as to who receives this money-free bargain."

I noticed an elderly couple was paying attention to the spectacle unfolding before their eyes, the old man shaking his head in apparent disgust.

"I tell you what; I will give it to the one of you most willing to obey my rules."

Again, they looked at one another, an expression of bewilderment on their faces.

The perky young woman asked, "What are the rules?"

I smiled and said, "I don't know. I have not yet defined them. However, it is a free home that I offer you."

They giggled amongst themselves, the youngest of which said, "What an old coot. He must be crazy to give away his home. Go take your meds, old man."

I smiled and leaned into the table a bit further. "I am serious, this is a legitimate offer."

They gaped at me for a moment."I'll take it you old fool. Where are the keys?" boasted the youngest among them.

"Then I presume you accept ALL of my terms then?" I asked.

The elderly couple seemed amused and entertained as they watched from the privacy of their table. "Oh yeah! Where do I sign up?"

I took a napkin and wrote, "I give this man my home, without the burden of financial obligation, so long as he accepts and abides by the terms that I shall set forth upon consummation of this transaction."I signed it and handed it to the young man who eagerly scratched out his signature.

"Where are the keys to my new house?" he asked in a mocking tone of voice.

All eyes were upon us as I stepped back from the table, pulling the keys from pocket and dangling them before the excited new homeowner."Now that we have entered into this binding contract, witnessed by all of your friends, I have decided upon the conditions you are obligated to adhere to from this point forward. You may only live in the house for one hour a day. You will not use anything inside of the home. You will obey me without question or resistance. I expect complete loyalty and admiration for this gift I bestow upon you. You will accept my commands and wishes with enthusiasm, no matter the nature. Your morals and principles shall be as mine. You will vote as I do, think as I do and do it with blind faith. These are my terms. Here are your keys." I reached the keys forward and the young man looked at me dumbfounded."Are you out of your mind? Who would ever agree to those ridiculous terms?" the young man appeared irritated.

"You did when you signed this contract before reading it, understanding it and with the full knowledge that I would provide my conditions only after you committed to the agreement."

The elderly man chuckled as his wife tried to restrain him. I was looking at a now silenced and bewildered group of people.

"You can shove that stupid deal up your a** old man. I want no part of it!" exclaimed the now infuriated young man.

'You have committed to the contract, as witnessed by all of your friends. You cannot get out of the deal unless I agree to it. I do not intend to let you free now that I have you ensnared. I am the power you agreed to. I am the one you blindly and without thought chose to enslave yourself to. In short, I am your Master."

At this, the table of celebrating individuals became a unified group against the unfairness of the deal.

After a few moments of unrepeatable comments and slurs, I revealed my true intent.

"What I did to you is what this administration and congress did to you with the health care legislation. I easily suckered you in and then revealed the real cost of the bargain. Your folly was in the belief that you can have something you did not earn, and for that which you did not earn, you willingly allowed someone else to think for you. Your failure to research, study and inform yourself permitted reason to escape you. You have entered into a trap from which you cannot flee. Your only chance of freedom is if your new Master gives it to you. A freedom that is given can also be taken away. Therefore, it is not freedom at all."

With that, I tore up the napkin and placed it before the astonished young man. "This is the nature of your new health care legislation."I turned away to leave these few in thought and contemplation -- and was surprised by applause.

He refused to allow me to pay my bill as he said, "You earned this one. It is an honor to pick up the tab."

I shook his hand in thanks, leaving the restaurant somewhat humbled and sensing a glimmer of hope for my beloved country.1. Remember... Four boxes keep us free: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box. 2. THIS SHOULD GO AROUND THE UNITED STATES SO PEOPLE CAN SEE JUST WHAT IS GOING ON. MAYBE EVEN THE POLITICALLY BLIND ONES WILL LEARN SOMETHING FROM IT.

Last month, we had a lively discussion on what can really be done to correct the ever lowering standards we are facing with public education.

There was even an advocate for the status-quo making an argument that the most terrible thing about any alternative in education that includes private schools at any level is the most evil and haneous motive "profit".

We have a speaker this month who will talk about the $1 billion per year tax increase called Amendment 22. We will also hear what can be done about it.

Join us on September 11th to hear what a $1 billion tax hike scam is made up of.

Monday, August 26, 2013

Faces of Evil - that was the headline of the Australian Herald Sun when reporting the depraved murder of Aussie Christopher Lane. It is instructive to carry that theme further with a few more faces. James Edwards and his buddies murdered Chris Lane "for the fun of it". James Edwards shot him in the back. It was reported that Edwards danced and laughed in the police station after his arrest. Ending a stranger's life was funny to him.He boasted on twitter that he had "knocked out 5 woods [whites] since Zimmerman court". He advised others to "HATE" white people, and a few days before the murder he said he wanted to be "with my niggas when it's time to start taken lifes".This is De'Marquise Elkins and his mother and aunt.

De'Marquise approached Sherri West in Brunswick, Georgia in March and asked for money. When she refused, he shot her 13 month old baby between the eyes. Elkins' mother and aunt were arrested for obstructing justice when they lied to cover-up the crime.

On August 12, a recent graduate from nursing school, David Santucci, was walking home from a birthday party. According to witnesses, Dondre Johnson, Mario Patterson and Jerrica Norfleet drove up to him, shot him to death and drove away.

They were captured shortly after the murder. Some news outlets reported this as a robbery rather than a racist hate crime, but witnesses said nothing was taken from the victim; nothing but his life.

In another recent Memphis story, police say that the two people pictured right doused a man with gasoline in a vacant field and set him on fire. He was severely burned over most of his body. A neighbor heard the screams and saw the victim's skin falling off. He said the devil himself would not deserve such treatment.

Several years ago in Knoxville, Tennessee, Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian were carjacked by the degenerate savages pictured to the left. Newsom was gagged, bound, brutally raped, beaten, shot and set on fire. Then they went to work on Channon. She was taken into the back room of a home where she was beaten and brutally raped in every way imaginable for hours. Bleach was poured down her throat. Then she was placed in a garbage bag to suffocate to death.

News of this horrendous, racist hate crime was mostly covered up. Much of the media are happy to lie in cases like Martin/Zimmerman or Duke Lacrosse, but they are not willing to tell the truth in cases like this. The typical cover-up approach was demonstrated by the Norfolk newspaper, The Virginian-Pilot, last year when two of their reporters were beaten by a black mob of about 30 people. They did not report the story at all until they were shamed into it two weeks after the assault. 'News' organizations are political organizations and filter stories to suit their political agenda."Shorty" Belton died late last week. He was 88. He fought for our country in Okinawa and was wounded there.

Shorty had been brutally beaten by two 'unarmed children'.I sure hope Shorty didn't try to defend himself, because, as we all now know, it is just wrong to defend yourself when black teenagers decide to pound on you.

The alleged savages are Demetrius Glenn, 16, who is now in custody (above), and Keenan Adams-Kinard (below).

In a similar case, Pat Mahaney was beaten by 'unarmed' 13 and 14 year olds. Pat died last week.

In Washington, DC, last August, T.C. Maslin was walking home from a baseball game. His wife and two-year-old son were at home. Tommy Branch (left) and two other young black thugs approached Maslin. With a two-fisted grip, Branch swung an aluminum bat into the side of Maslin's head, shattering his skull and severing an optic nerve. Maslin lived, but he is severely disabled. The national media ignored this story.Last Monday in Pensacola, Florida, 77-year-old John Garland Redick was chased, beaten with sticks and pelted with cans by a mob of very young black teens. Two of the attackers are pictured below, Keyon Black and Shaknee Golay.

On March 17, 2012, police found 32 year old Terry Moore lying in his own blood outside an Appleby's Restaurant in North Carolina. Moore said the group of predators pictured below approached him calling him a "tree honkey" and a "cracker". They knocked him to the ground and amused themselves punching and kicking him.It would not be difficult at all to post pictures and tell stories of degenerate predators like this ad nauseam. There is an explosion of black mob violence. If you doubt that, read "White Girl Bleed A Lot" by Colin Flaherty. Across the country, degenerate people are violently attacking strangers in "the knockout game" ... just for 'fun'. Flash mobs swarm stores to plunder and pillage. They are eliminating the government middle-man and taking what they want directly.Even though we don't speak much about this violence, and even though the press works to cover it up, we all understand that we have a huge problem with a violent, racist, uncivilized underclass. We are taught, incorrectly, that it is not appropriate to talk honestly about it. But ignoring or denying the problem is the most foolish approach of all. We must acknowledge it and we must talk about it.Consider these statistics:§ Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.

§ The best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percent of the population that is black and Hispanic.

§ Blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites then vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit a robbery.

§ The death toll from murder in Chicago over the last decade exceeds the death toll of our soldiers in Afghanistan since the beginning of that war. [Handgun purchases are not allowed in Chicago.]

§ Nearly 3/4 of black children are born out of wedlock. Generations of children are being raise without fathers.

§ Academic achievement for black students is appallingly low, despite a large amount of money being spent to provide that group with educational opportunities.Now consider the fact that decent black people are the people who are most harmed by this violent subculture. They are the closest to the problem and suffer the most from it. But we all suffer from this growing cancer and ignoring the problem is simply one way to commit national suicide.

This problem is not about skin color. The real problem is bad values. There is nothing about having melanin in your skin that will protect you from the natural consequences of destructive values. Violent, hostile, uneducated, misogynistic men who do not care for their children will not be successful... anywhere, ever. And no civilization can survive the degradation of its women. Thug culture celebrates the degradation of women.

Think about the Vietnamese refugees or other Asian refugees who came to this country from lives of severe deprivation. They had nothing...except good values. With hard work, education, family values, self-discipline and perseverance, most achieved the American Dream in a short amount of time. In one generation, they were often small business owners and valedictorians. Fortunately for them, they had no putative leaders teaching them victimhood and hopelessness. No one told them it was someone else's job to make their lives successful.

If we discuss this problem openly we will be called racists. People will say we are finally "showing our true colors". We will be called liars. Thug culture will be defended. They will say we are afraid of black masculinity, as though violent bravado is praiseworthy. There will be a large leftist effort to stop people from saying what needs to be said.We should ignore the criticism and steadfastly pursue Martin Luther King's dream of living in a nation where people "will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." This dream strikes fear in the hearts of current civil rights 'leaders' who abhor the idea of character judgments. They live in the past. For them, it is all about skin color.

In my view, no one has done more to impede the progress of black people than black 'leaders" and other leftists in the racial grievance industry. They sell exactly the wrong message of victimhood, telling blacks on the dependency plantation that none of their problems are their fault and nothing is their responsibility. Could you find a better formula for creating an angry, dependent population than to tell them that all of their problems are caused by others and all of their needs are someone else's job to fill. From Sharpton to Obama, the message is destructive, though it does maintain the desired voting block.Accepting lower standards of behavior for black people is a form of racism. Only a racist would say that black people are not capable of joining civilized society on an equal footing. Do blacks need lower standards because they are inferior people? This is the soft bigotry of low expectations. Violent, ignorant, parasitic thug culture is not a built- in defect. It comes from bad values which are created and supported by bad social policy. The violent subculture persists because of an absurd level of tolerance on our part.
